Do the people of Las Cruces have no say at all about this Pegasus thing, or just the councilors? I think the whole community should have a say on it.

Pegasus is a kind of a secretive thing. They said they are global yet nobody seems to know what they have done anywhere else. One thing I know for sure they will do here in Las Cruces is up our taxes, and I am not for that.

There are a lot of veterans who have to go to El Paso to the VA clinic. They go from Las Cruces, Deming, Lordsburg, Alamogordo and all around the area. We could use a hospital right here in Las Cruces and that would take the pressure off the one in El Paso.

I would like to call for the ranchers to get out of the national forest. The compromise between the ranchers and the wolf people was to let them go up there and check their losses and be paid for it, but that's not good enough. They shoot the wolves too despite being paid for their losses.

Under New Mexico voter regulations, the voter rolls are purged frequently to account for the deceased. There is no need to have 172,000 of our 1 million population to be purged. Eighty percent are Hispanic voters. It is just part of the Republican scheme across this country to disenfranchise Democrat-leaning voters so they can win the election.

Where were Romney and Ryan on Labor Day? Romney was showing off his million-dollar boat. Ryan was praising the entrepreneurs, not the laborers that made them the money.

Obama went to the auto industry labor union in Ohio praising their hard work and standing with them, the middle class.

The National Debt Clock was visible at the Republican National Convention. The debt has now passed $16 trillion. I doubt that this clock will be displayed at the Democratic National Convention.

Three things were missing at the Republican Convention. No new ideas for creating jobs, no George Bush reminding people of his and Romney's policies that caused the Great Recession and no truth about Obama's policy. I was left with Republicans believing lying is a virtue.

Don't be fooled voters. The Democrats put Mayor Castro of San Antonio in the national spotlight for one reason. Trying to get some Hispanic votes.

I watched a little bit of the Republican Convention last week, and I noticed there were many more minorities on stage giving speeches than there were in the audience. Who are they trying to fool?

Republicans kept George Bush from their convention so voters would not remember how Bush/Romney policies bankrupted our country. Democrats are bringing Bill Clinton to prime time at their convention, to remind people Clinton/Obama polices brought us the greatest growth in a century.

The 9/3 Sun-News front-page article about jobs explains what Obama has done for Doña Ana County. Is this what you want for your children?

Republicans really want to ask are you better off now than when Bush left office? My husband and I had not received a raise since 2007 until this year. Under Bush we lost $10,000 in our 401K in one month. Since Obama took office our 401K has consistently gone up.

My son-in-law is a border patrolman. He says that every illegal they catch from Mexico has a voter card. That happens to be their ID. Thank goodness the USA is so much smarter than Mexico. We don't have those because we don't have voter fraud. Ha, ha, ha.

The documentary about President Obama by MSNBC's Chris Matthews is Golden Globe material. It is honest and presented the facts, not inferred innuendoes that is in the movie theater with no facts to back up their assertion in the so-called documentary about Obama.
